SNACK Benefit, Kezar Stadium, San Francisco, CA, 3-23-1975, Part 3: Tower of Power

The third major music act to perform at the 1975 SNACK benefit in San Francisco was Tower of Power.

Tower of Power was formed in 1968. The American band focused on soul and funk music with an emphasis on horns. They were a big band at the time of this concert, with ten band members. They had their biggest success in the early 1970s. 

A few months prior to this concert, they changed lead singers, from Lenny Williams to Hubert Tubbs.

This album is 32 minutes long.

I found only one photo of the band from this exact concert, and I used it here for the cover. However, I had to crop out some of the band members on the left and right because it was a long rectangular photo that I needed to fit into a square space. I also colorized the photo with the help of the Palette program, and then some Photoshop fixing.
